Description · Anchors for Shelving

M10×70 expansion anchor bolt, used to fix the shelving base plate to the concrete slab. Each base plate requires 2 and each upright frame requires 4: the pack covers one upright frame. Anchoring the shelving to the floor is mandatory in warehouses with forklifts.

Shelving anchors are the fundamental safety element to ensure the stability of any storage installation. Designed to firmly fix the base plate of each upright to the concrete slab, these M10x70 expansion anchors with zinc-plated finish prevent unwanted movement and potential tipping. Each upright base plate requires two units, making a pack of four sufficient to secure a complete upright frame, which is crucial in environments where forklifts operate. Ensuring the correct installation of shelving anchors is a paramount safety measure.

The installation of these shelving anchors is a straightforward yet essential process. Simply insert the expansion anchor into the concrete slab through the provided hole in the upright base plate. Two anchors must be placed per base plate, totaling four per upright frame. The zinc-plated finish of the shelving anchors not only ensures a robust fixing but also provides corrosion resistance, extending the structure's service life. The solidity provided by the shelving anchors is vital for the integrity of the entire storage system.

These shelving anchors are perfect for a wide range of spaces, from industrial warehouses to workshops or garages where safety is a priority. They are particularly recommended for installations that use load handling machinery, such as forklifts, as they drastically minimize the risk of structural displacement or collapse. Investing in shelving anchors is a guarantee of durability and safety for your equipment and for the personnel working in the environment.

Frequently asked questions

How many units do the shelf anchors include and what are they for?
The kit includes 4 M10x70 mechanical expansion anchors with a zinc-plated finish. They are used to fix the base to the concrete slab, requiring 2 units per foot.
What type of surface is required to install the shelf anchors?
This model is designed to be fixed onto a concrete slab. It is especially recommended where forklifts operate, to prevent tipping and displacement.
What load do the shelf anchors support?
This set does not add load capacity: the load per level is determined by the upright frame and beams of the installation. Their function is to keep the structure fixed to the concrete slab to prevent tipping or displacement.
How many packs of shelf anchors does an installation require?
One per upright frame: the kit contains the 4 anchors that an upright frame uses, 2 on each foot. A single-module shelving unit has 2 upright frames, and each additional module adds one.
How is the fixing carried out using shelf anchors?
Assembly requires inserting the M10x70 expansion anchor into the concrete slab through the foot of the upright frame. 2 units are placed per foot, totaling 4 units per upright frame.
What treatment do these shelf anchors have?
This set has a zinc-plated finish that offers protection against corrosion. It ensures the stability of the structure by fixing the base to the floor.
What are the dimensions and weight of the shelf anchors?
The dimensions are 0 cm in height, 0 cm in width, and 100 cm in depth. Each unit weighs 0.20 kg. The finish is zinc-plated.
What material are the shelf anchors made of and what makes them resistant?

Applicable regulations in Ireland · Anchors for Shelving · M10x70 · Pack of 4

Pallet racking and forklift operation

In Ireland, pallet racking in a forklift-served warehouse is work equipment under Part 2, Chapter 2 of the General Application Regulations 2007 (S.I. No. 299/2007), implementing the EU Work Equipment Directive (now Directive 2009/104/EC). installed and located correctly (Reg. 28); stabilised by clamping or some other means where necessary for safety (Reg. 33), in practice erected as per the manufacturer’s instructions with the uprights anchored to the floor; maintained throughout its working life (Reg. 31); and inspected by a competent person after installation and re-assembly, then periodically and by special inspection after an accident, a modification or any other exceptional event, with records kept for 5 years (Reg. 30). Traffic routes must be dimensioned for the number of users and the type of undertaking, pedestrians given sufficient safety clearance where trucks share them, and areas where objects could fall clearly indicated and access controlled (Reg. 14). Health and Safety Authority guidance asks for the maximum safe load prominently marked on all racks, racking checked regularly for damage and uprights protected from impact; its Code of Practice on the Safe Use of Industrial Trucks adds that features of the operating area such as racking should be clearly marked and protected against accidental damage. EN 15635, the European standard on the use and maintenance of storage equipment, is a technical reference for organising those checks, not a legal obligation.
